If you would like to make your own visual guides for your favourite meals simply ask your Support Worker for help. They can assist you with finding the right recipes, do the food shopping with you and then document each step of the meal preparation by taking a photograph. Afterwards, you could use this template and adjust them to your meal. These can then be printed for you and used to prepare your favourite dishes at home.
